how do you do spectator stuff? i know the first question my friends are going to ask is if they can fly my drone (which is of course, no). I thought about toting around my old mavic so they have baby's first drone to play with, but I've seen videos of people linking their goggles somehow. Ideally I'd like get a secondary pair of analog goggles for this purpose (if that's possible - I'm assuming I can run the HDMI out from the X's to an input on the analogs). I also would eventually like to build an analog drone at some point (maybe even throw a second IR camera on it for recon purposes).

With DJI you either have to have another set of goggles, or I can plug a USB-C cable into my goggles and use the app on my phone so people can go for a ride along. I have a love/hate relationship with DJI stuff. But dammit if the range, clarity, and signal penetration aren't the best. I'm hoping one day an FPV company catches up to them. I still run analog for my tiny whoops. That's another thing I'd recommended strongly. You can fly around your house and crash them into shit and nothing breaks. Maybe a $4 frame here and there and props. But I've smacked into my kids' heads and they just keep walking like nothing happened. Flying those fast indoors has really helped with my reaction times. I've even used one to fly across the house and tell my wife how much longer was left on the dryer.

First flights today with the Avata 2 and WOW! I had a great time with it!
It was super windy when I took it up the first time so I didn't spend much time in the air. Later in the day the wind died down and I was able to zip it around my yard, through the trees, etc. Really easy to use and I'm stoked to get it up again tomorrow. |

The flying experience has been amazing. I'm already getting more bold with my lines after only a few flights. I'm not in ACRO mode yet though so no worry of it flying away. The only frustration is that I live near a flight restricted area and I have to import an unlock into the Avata 2 everytime I fly. Tried flying at a park earlier today that's even closer to the restricted area and the drone locked down even with the unlock. |
